Program Plan Intro
E-R model:
- It is a tool for creating data model.
- It is used for developers to describe the content of data model by using two functions called entities and relationships.
Entity:
- It helps the user for tracking something in
database . - Example entities in student database system are Student, Grade, Course, etc.
Relationships:
- Entities have relationships among each other.
- For example, in student database, a Student has a relationship to Major and Student has a relationship to Advisor.
Attribute:
- It used to describe the entity characteristics.
- Example attributes of student entity is Student_id, Student_name, Student_address, etc.
Identifier:
- It is an attribute or group of attribute, but its value is related with one and only one entity instance.
Example of E-R diagram:

Create a relational diagram for the database using crow’s foot notation. The ERD should include all the entities, relationships, and connectivity where applicable.
4 tables for the database: PATRON, BOOK_COPY, BOOK, and CHECKOUT. (Since a book may have multiple copies that may be purchased by the library at different time, it is better to have a BOOK_COPY table to avoid unnecessary data redundancy.) The data in the tables are as follows:
PATRON table records a patron’s ID, name, address, phone number, and email address.
BOOK table contains information such as author, title, publication date, subject, language, and a unique identifier (It can be the ISBN of the book) for each book.
BOOK_COPY table records a unique identifier for each copy of a book, the date of purchase, and the identifier of the book from the BOOK table.
CHECKOUT table records the date of check-out, patron’s ID, the identifier of the book copy…
What are the most important differences between a data item and a data attribute that can be drawn in the context of the data hierarchy? When an attribute is declared to have scope, what does it imply exactly?
The various database table choices should be discussed when dealing with subtype associations.Discuss the issues that are relevant to the layout you decide to utilize.
